80 pirated Star Wars DVDs seized in two-day operation

Eighty pirated copies of the latest Star Wars blockbuster, Attack of the Clones, have been seized by Customs officers.

The pirated copies were seized in a two-day crackdown which began on Thursday to coincide with the film's opening worldwide and locally, the Customs and Excise Department said. The DVDs, carrying a price tag of $35, were manufactured illegally outside Hong Kong and were seized from shops in Sheung Shui and Kwun Tong.
